Per Cent Record

AFTER a month of football which had reached an unusually high stan- dard, it was not altogether surprising during the week-end to find

a reaction set in, and the football to revert to that type so common last

season.

TWO games suffered very badly in this respect-Club v Police and South China v St. Joseph's,whilst Kowloon supporters could find very little to console them in the fact that their team deserved to win against the Athletic, but didn't.

SPECIAL descriptive reports of the leading week-end matches will be found below.

The Athletic's fast forward line were constantly dangerous, In the first half and built up a lead of 3-1 at the interval. For the greater part of the second half, they were penned in their own half of the field and Elliot first reduced the lead with a nice

header and then put Kowloon on terms with a dandy shot.

BREAKAWAY GOAL.

The equalisor gave added stimulus to the game and although Kowloon swarmed around the Athletic goal- mouth, their concentration upon at- tack, justified in the circumstances, As a display of tired, Insipid gave the opening for a shary break- football this game, won by South away by the lively Athletic forward China by two clear goals, would beling in the closing minutes which difficult to surpass.
